Team Tartufi White Truffle Oil: the aroma of Tuber magnatum in a few drops
Team Tartufi White Truffle Oil is a seasoning based on extra virgin olive oil (98%) flavoured with white truffle, packaged in a 250 ml glass bottle and sold in a case of 12. It is designed for raw use: a few drops at the end of cooking or on the plated dish bring the intense, penetrating aroma of Tuber magnatum to pasta, risotto, eggs and meat. The extra virgin olive oil base fixes the volatile aromatic compounds of truffle better than seed oils, ensuring a fuller and longer-lasting olfactory result.
What white truffle oil is
Truffle oil is a gourmet seasoning that combines a quality vegetable fat with the aroma of truffle. White truffle (Tuber magnatum Pico) is the most prized and sought-after: its aroma, due to volatile sulphur compounds, is as intense as it is delicate, and expresses itself best raw. This is why white truffle oil was created as a professional solution to bring that aroma into the kitchen all year round, even outside the short fresh-truffle season (generally October to late December for the prized white).
The producer: Team Tartufi, Milan
Team Tartufi is an Italian company specialising in truffle, based in Milan and founded in 2018 by a group of entrepreneurs with twenty years of experience in the sector. Its activity covers selection, processing and distribution of fresh truffles and a range of truffle products (butters, sauces, salt, honey, oils) for professional catering. The TT mark on the label identifies the brand.
Sensory profile
Typical yellow-green colour of extra virgin olive oil; on the nose, an intense and persistent white truffle aroma with penetrating notes; on the palate, the soft structure of olive oil that carries the aroma smoothly. The aroma is designed to emerge cold and dissipate quickly with heat, which is why it should always be dosed last.

Uses in the professional kitchen
White truffle oil performs best raw. Serving ideas: drizzled over egg tagliatelle or tajarin (3-5 ml per portion, just before serving); over a parmesan-finished risotto at the end of stirring; on poached or fried eggs; on meat carpaccio, tartare and hand-cut beef; over a cheese fondue or roast potatoes; a few drops on a freshly baked pizza. Common mistake to avoid: heating it in the pan or using it for frying, because the aroma evaporates and is lost; always add it last, off the heat.
Pairings
It pairs naturally with fresh egg pasta, Carnaroli rice for risotto, parmesan and hard cheeses, eggs, mushrooms, white and red meats. In delicatessens it is perfect to enrich boards and starters. At LAPA you also find Team Tartufi Black Truffle Extra Virgin Oil for those seeking a more earthy aroma, and the 1 litre White Truffle Oil format for high-consumption kitchens.
